Re: [OMC-Boats] Tru-course Steering

I have a 19' TideRider--the 18 cable is a close (but correct) fit. I have everything out of the boat (including the floor and stringers) at the moment--so I don't have any good pics to pass along. I took out the cable system and just did some minor machining (to match) the tru course pulleys to the pulley stuff. The intermediate housing parts mated right up once I took off the 'bobbin' (for lack of a better term) Just hope to be able to keep the tru course cable properly lubricated so it will last awhile---Don't think I will ever get another deal like I got on it (Paid $65 with shipping on ebay for the part used) Andy --- On Thu, 7/23/09, Lee Shuster (lib1) <lib1@...> wrote: > From: Lee Shuster (lib1) <lib1@...> > Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] Tru-course Steering > To: "Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's" <omc-boats@....com> > Date: Thursday, July 23, 2009, 8:50 AM > Andy, > > How close a fit was the 18-ft Tru-Course cable?
